Although Li Xiufeng knew it was Kake at first sight, the person in front of him was not the Kake in his memory.
He still wore the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his figure seemed to have lost a little weight, and his previously round face had doubled in size.
At this time, Kake looked a little reserved after entering the door. He was carrying a shoulder bag and a trolley suitcase in his hand.
Li Xiufeng was slightly startled when he saw this. He still had to remember the first time he met Kake when he first entered the club.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looks like an elite white-collar worker, with a reserved and arrogant temperament.
Half a year has passed, and I didn't expect that such a big change has happened.
But didn’t Link say in a meeting yesterday that the club doesn’t want a substitute top laner?
Why is Kake carrying his bag and carrying his luggage today, looking like he is about to check in?
Li Xiufeng was quite happy to see Kake. Although he was confused, he still walked over and stretched out his hand to help carry things, smiling and saying:
"Ah! Brother K, you are here?..."
Speaking of which, in the first half of this year, the two were KG's "Top Twins" (Kake calls himself). They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Li Xiufeng had a lot to say, and he wanted to pour out a lot of words:
We won the Summer Split, the S7 Finals, and the All-Stars. How are you doing at ONG?
But his words always seemed to be blocked by something. They were just spinning in his head and could not be uttered out of his mouth.
When Kake saw Li Xiufeng, his face seemed to show some excitement.
But he moved his lower lips and said nothing, but his attitude finally became somewhat respectful.
He quietly avoided Li Xiufeng's extending hand to help, opened his mouth and shouted bitterly:
"Feng...Mr. Li."
Li Xiufeng was startled when he heard this and looked at Kake in slight surprise. He didn't expect that he would call him such a name.
Is this the same Kake that "Brother Feng is the boss and I am the second child, and the second child can also be the boss"?
Li Xiufeng looked at Kake's cautious expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that there was already a sadly thick barrier between them.
This barrier is like Yasuo's wind wall. I can see you, but I can't get into your heart.
Oh, I'm a damn rich guy...
...
"Ah? Kake is here? I was just talking to the coach about you."
At this time, Link and Han Yunlong on the second floor suddenly showed up and waved, then walked down with smiles and patted Kake on the shoulder.
Kake put down the bag in his hand, and the expression on his face finally became more natural. He nodded to the two of them, "I'll be here as soon as I receive the news."
"Have you made a decision?" Han Yunlong asked.
Kake turned his head and looked deeply at Li Xiufeng, then nodded seriously.
"Well, I've thought about it."
"That's good."
Han Yunlong also nodded with satisfaction.
Link saw that Li Xiufeng next to him seemed a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother K will join our team next season, um, as an assistant."
In an auxiliary capacity?
Li Xiufeng was startled when he heard this. He really didn't expect this.
He turned to look at Kake, but Kake avoided Li Xiufeng's eyes in a panic.
At this time, he actually felt ashamed that two people were chasing dreams for their ideals, but one of them gave up on his ideals halfway, and then met another dream chaser.
But Li Xiufeng's face showed a smile and he extended his hand to Kake.
Kake was stunned when he saw this, but he heard Li Xiufeng's warm voice saying, "Welcome back."
Welcome back, not welcome to join. It turns out...Brother Feng has never treated me as an outsider.
In just this moment, Kake felt that the "back barrier" between Kake and Li Xiufeng had disappeared.
A long-lost feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously, and he blurted out, "Feng Gou... uh! No! Brother Feng, let's work together from now on!"
...
Kake returns in a new role as support, and this is just the beginning.
In the last week of the LPL winter transfer period, each LPL club has also officially announced the lineup of new players. Every day when I open Weibo, the hot searches are flooding the screen.
EW, one of the three royal families, the leader of the family Dan Qiye joined the DGL team this season.
Qiye teamed up with Peanut, who was bought from South Korea, to link up the midfield and jungle to compete in the new season. The brother-in-law in the EW team returned to South Korea to join the African team of the LCK.
As for DGL, an optimistic team, although their original attempt to buy Li Xiufeng this season failed, it did not affect their ambitions for the new season at all.
They bought BMG's substitute top laner from last season - Wolf Shao - on the top lane, and the ADC on the bottom lane was Kram who was bought and half cheated from Wanwan Team FW.
Kram is a Korean player. He originally wanted to return to South Korea during the transfer period. After being away from home for so long, he missed his hometown Kimchihua.
The problem is that he wandered around the LCK and found that many teams had little interest in him.
Basically, you can just come, and the normal signing fee is guaranteed, but the number of starts is not guaranteed.
Kram has no dreams, he wants money. The golden career of a professional player is only a few years, so let him sign a cabbage contract for the pickle flowers in his hometown.
Sorry, it can't be done.
Pickle flowers are to die for!
It just so happened that during this period, many people said that there was an optimistic team called DGL in the LPL that was very strong. It was a strong team in the LPL and even beat BMG in the playoffs.
Kram thought about it, I am familiar with BMG, there is Uz1, DGL looks really strong.
But when he came to the LPL, he discovered that DGL had always been at the bottom in the regular season since Season 5. It only came in the playoffs every time to "rob the rich and give to the poor". Basically, they were just working as workers and sending other teams into the playoffs. Post game.
Xiba!
When feelings come on their own, you should be the dean.
Looking at the little peanut in the next bed, and Qiye who looks like a Wangzi in the middle but is a talented domestic mid laner in the LPL, Kram can only pin his hopes on the upcoming new season.
However, the reason why DGL is on the hot search is that in addition to the team's strength on paper in the new season, the team's appearance has also become a major attraction.
Not to mention Little Peanut, he is a typical little puppy and has many mother fans in LPL and LCK.
Kram, on the other hand, has a bit of a masculine look, and the DGL club attracted a wave of female fans as soon as it was officially announced.
As for the remaining Qiye and Lang Shao of DGL, as well as the support in the team, although they are not very handsome, they are more eye-catching in the e-sports circle where most fat people are.
And DGL's popularity on Weibo only maintained a little bit. Before it reached the top in the evening, it was squeezed out by FXP, the upstart LPL.
There is no other reason, because in the final version of the lineup officially announced by FXP, the trinity of Suke Nakano is the trinity of Suke Nakano, the champion of the LPL Division S7 this year!
What kind of new team is this? It's clearly Galaxy Battleship. Many people feel that this year's FXP has the same flavor as last year's LCK KT.
As soon as the team was established, they were basically all star champions. It felt like they were still at the starting line, so he sprinted 100 meters as a champion.
But whether we can reach the finish line first depends on FXP’s performance this season.
Of course, there are also some good people in the Weibo comment area who gave FXP the nickname "Rebel Ninja Village" because all three of them are from KG.
"Guigui! I only serve KG for champion wholesale."
"Thank you, Link!"
"Just wait and wait for Mr. Li to kill a traitor next season."
"One knife at a time? Are you sure Feng Gou can still carry the knife?"
"..."
In the last week of the LPL winter transfer period, all the previous undercurrents have turned into current ups and downs, except for the small changes in other teams.
SNG changed its name to SN and was funded by e-commerce companies.
At the same time, while retaining the original lineup, the team also introduced former Flash Wolves mid laner Maple and auxiliary Sword, as well as former RW AD veteran Sima and top laner Abin. It will still be extremely competitive in the new season.
.
There is also a team called Y5.
The biggest news of Y5 is that the former mid laner 0tt0 also announced his comeback this season, which caused quite a stir.
0tt0 is the flower stick that Li Xiufeng met in the rankings last time. He is a former YG professional mid laner. He is good at playing the suona, ah no, good at Lulu and the happy man Yasuo.
He has been in a semi-retired state before doing live broadcasts, and appearing on the Y5 list this time is equivalent to a comeback.
...
Time passes day by day until the day before the transfer period is about to end.
Finally, KG officially announced the starting lineup for the new season, which countless netizens have been waiting for.
The top laner Li Xiufeng is as stable as a mountain, the jungler Saofen and Xiao Long Bao, the mid laner is still left-handed, and it is worth mentioning that the bottom lane duo has substitutes.
ADC Ah Shui found a substitute, called Huanfeng HF.
Huanfeng was previously the substitute ADC of AG's second team. He performed well in the LSPL last season and was picked up by Li Xiufeng, who often watched LSPL games and was nostalgic, and bought him at a low price.
Li Xiufeng is now considered the club's management. Strictly speaking, the buying and selling of players is already his "own business," so he naturally prefers cost-effectiveness.
Speaking of which, he also came from the LSPL, so he definitely looks down on LSPL players.
Li Xiufeng knew very well that there were many missing orbs there, it just depends on who has the vision.
However, originally according to the suggestions of manager Link and coach Han Yunlong, they were more inclined to buy the old thief Sima who became a free agent during the transfer period.
The old thief Sima joined RW with Doub last season to form the middle and lower double C. Although he failed to advance to the S game, it does not mean that he has no strength.
Sometimes, the strength of the players is not directly proportional to the performance of the team.
However, it is a pity that the old thief Sima is also interested in the e-commerce team SN. SN is very wealthy and is backed by one of the top ten large companies in China.
The old thief Sima was wavering between the KG and SN teams. This usually cold-faced and taciturn young man also had a passionate dream of e-sports. In the end, he chose SN.
This choice is actually not difficult to understand.
Although KG is a championship team that has just made history, but there is Ah Shui in the team, the old thief will most likely replace him and compete for the spot.
In contrast, SN's AD position is empty, and the old thief Sima is sitting firmly in the starting lineup.
Of course he knows how to choose.
So Link and Han Yunlong saw that the old thief Sima couldn't get what they asked for, so they had to retreat and choose the Huanfeng that Li Xiufeng liked.
In addition to Kake, who returned as an assistant in a new capacity, the club also bought another old assistant, Fable, during the transfer period in order to maintain stability.
Fable used to be in the youth training team and had no achievements, but he always played as a support player.
This is always an insurance policy for Kake.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
After KG's new season lineup was officially announced on Weibo, as the first LPL team to win the S Championship and the first full-year Grand Slam team, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
"Is KG preparing to use the crowd strategy in this round of blood changes?"
"Good guy, there are almost ten people in this team including the coach, right? Do you have enough food?"
"I'm asking, is the club short of a cook? Someone who can warm Brother Feng's bed."
"Damn it! Assistant Kake? Brother K is back?!"
"Brother is cute! Brother K didn't fall! He just moved forward in a different way!"
"Brother K, brother K, beat the dog!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaksha, Brother Meng, hit the public screen on Rem."
"I am Gongping, where is Rem?"
"..."
As soon as the KG lineup was announced, the official Weibo account exploded in popularity, with over 10,000 comments, likes and retweets in just half an hour.
The LPL has developed for so many years, and fans and viewers have witnessed the separation and reunification of so many players and clubs, so the flow of players is not surprising.
Everyone is just curious. KG doesn't look like a money-hungry owner. Since Xiaoyao and Lqs are gone, let's buy a more powerful reinforcement.
But several of the players KG introduced this season were either former LPL tool players, and they occasionally attracted attention, but they didn't attract much attention.
Either he is a transparent person of LSPL, and no one has even heard of him.
Will this purchase really produce results next season? Or is this also a magical operation by the club manager?
There was a club in the history of LPL. The club manager made a magical operation and destroyed himself. He made many good brothers and can be called "e-sports leads good people".
In other words, Li Xiufeng completed a personal Grand Slam for the whole year despite a major change of teammates in the spring and summer split. Recently, everyone has been saying "if you stay at the top, you will be crowned forever" on the Internet.
Do you really believe this?
"I'm just kidding, brother." In the Weibo comment area, a high praise comment was upvoted.
There are already more than 900 replies in this comment, and a group of people are posting "I'm sorry" and "If KG fails next season, everyone here will be the murderer"...
In fact, it’s no wonder that everyone is making fun of it. History has proven that even the current number one player in the league and the number one mid laner in the world, Faker, can’t do it.
Since Faker won the championship in S3, his teammates have changed constantly, but there have also been failures in S4 and this year's S7.
Li Xiufeng and KG just won the S championship.
Why do you dare to be so reckless?
For a time, there were blessings, questions, and heated discussions...
Amid various voices, the LPL winter transfer period window was finally officially closed on December 19 after being open for a month.
There is almost a month left before the new season, and players from major teams are also enjoying their final vacation period. It is rare to be quiet after the transfer period.
Unexpectedly, not long after it stopped, the enthusiasm of countless players around the world was ignited on the eve of Christmas at the end of the year.
For no other reason, Riot Games officially announced that on Christmas Day, KG’s limited champion skin from the S7 Global Finals will be officially on sale simultaneously in all major server malls.
This news is actually good for players outside of China.
Although there are many foreign players who have been conquered by Li Xiufeng and KG this year, they are just supporting their favorite team and buying souvenirs.
However, this championship skin has a completely different meaning to players in the Chinese region.
All of a sudden, Weibo and the entire network of WeChat Moments started to flood with comments such as "As a Christmas gift, I only accept KG champion skins" and "If you meet a man who is willing to give you a full set of champion skins, then just fake it."
, "As long as you buy KG's championship skin today, you will be my brother."
I have to follow you. This wave of popularity is fierce and powerful. Is there Tengda’s marketing team in it?
Maybe, but it can cause such a chain reaction mainly because of the strong resonance.
Seven is not just a number.
Day after day, year after year, LPL players have waited for seven years to get this set of championship skins that belong to their region.
If you don’t buy it, are you still a human being?
On the night when the champion skin went on sale, Li Xiufeng also started his first live broadcast with the Sharks since the All-Star Game.
